= sfBenchmarkPlugin =

The goal of this plugin is to provide ''typical'' developers (the ones with no time on their hands -- ever!) the most useful of information possible via a simple pake task and/or a Javascript/Ajax-based backend. It will generally serve as a wrapper for already-existing benchmarking tools and will remain lightweight. If you want more heavy-duty reporting, you should just use the already-existing tools.

This plugin is Alpha status and your comments, questions, and suggestions are very much welcomed.

== Current functionality ==

Note: functionality subject to change. Requires ab.

Install the plugin via svn. Clear your cache.

Current functionality is the most basic possible. It's just a wrapper for the following command:
{{{
$ ab -n 50 http://my-staging-server/
}}}

{{{
$ symfony benchmark http://my-staging-server/
}}}

Results in:
{{{
Time per Request: 85.541
}}}
